Sleret Blungko Pillow

Made by backstrap loom weavers in Tuban, East Java

Product Story

The Javanese lurik is built upon a plethora of variations, each one embodying its own stripe pattern. Sleret Blungko is an adaptation of the traditional loropat lurik wherein loropat literally means two-four in Javanese and the stripes of the fabric are woven accordingly. The pattern playfully takes its name from a cucumber fruit widely grown in the region of East Java.

The production of Sleret Blungko textile is proudly brought within a circular design ecosystem, beginning with the harvesting of native cotton from Tuban farmland all the way to the hands of local spinsters. The cotton yarn is hand-dyed, resulting in a rich, saturated blue colour. 

A pair of these fabrics are sewn together and lined with fringes to disguise stitches while creating a playful texture to the whole look. Sleret Blungko pillow carries a refreshing coastal vibe with timeless origins that will brighten up your home with renewed allure. The base fabric is handwoven by backstrap loom weavers in Pak Fajar's house, Tuban.

MADE IN PAK FAJAR'S HOUSE, TUBAN

Pak Fajar first pursued his exploration with the Tuban weavers years ago during his study as a textile researcher. In Kerek Village, he found a closed-circle community of farmers, spinners, and weavers who work hand in hand forming a robust production cycle. With persistent dedication, he introduces a new perspective on valuing their respectable work.

The backstrap loom is still well-preserved by the people in Tuban; it is one of the oldest, most traditional forms of weaving in the archipelago. The region is constructed on stories and lores about why such crafts still exist to this day. The beauty of weaving has stood the test of time and this is in line with what Pak Fajar is ceaselessly working towards.
